Good dads know how important it is to spend quality time with their kids and how fun it can be too. But it can be tough to keep coming up with new stuff to entertain your kids. If you’re dreading a weekend of kids complaining about being bored while you countdown the seconds until bedtime, we feel your pain. So each week we feature 3 simple ideas of things to do with your kids.

Build a Blanket Fort

There’s something about making a complete mess of furniture that kids really love and once you add in some blankets and they go bonkers. Use couch pillows, chairs, coffee tables and drape blankets and sheets over them. You can also buy this handy fort kit that enables them to build a sturdy (and glow-in-the-dark!) infrastructure…while not turning your house upside down.

Get Experimental

Blow your kids’ minds while teaching them about science! Dig around online and you’ll find a wealth of inexpensive experiments with stuff that’s already kicking around your house. Some of them may require to be set up the night before but if you plan far enough ahead you can buy a basic science kit (or a more advanced kit) that include everything you need. Here are 7 easy experiments bound to capture their imagination:

Fly a Kite

Definitely an oldie but certainly a goodie and there’s no rule against flying a kite when it’s cold outside. Dollar stores always carry a nice selection and they’re only a few bucks each. Get one for everyone and see if you can all get airborne at the same time. When things are winding down announce you’re having a “Kite Dog Fight!!” and try to knock each other out of the sky. You’ll probably just end up with a tangled mess, but hey, it was fun while it lasted.

Cardboard Creativity

It’s time to leverage the fact that kids often get more excited about the box their gift comes in than the actual gift. Ask a few stores in a shopping mall for some small to extra large boxes in various dimensions. Then put together a castle, a series of connected box forts or a tunnel system. Or use them to create a robot costume or a house for your family pet. Once the project is complete the kids get to decorate the boxes however they please!

Visit the Library

Set them up with library cards and let them explore and take out some books…obviously. But libraries have a lot more going on than just borrowing books – you can borrow movies too. Most of them also host storytimes with local authors, have arts and crafts time and offer drop-in play spaces. A Library is also a great community hub to find out what else is going on in your neighborhood.

Sock Puppet Theater

This activity is part crafty and one part performance art. Gather up some old socks, markers, fabric scraps, buttons, and some glue and let the kids create their characters. Remember the boxes from above? Convert an extra large one into a puppet theater and then have your kids put on a show. Make sure to record it, everyone can watch it later while munching on popcorn.

Toy Purge

Let’s face it – your kids’ rooms are filled with tons of toys that no longer spark joy. Explain to them that you’re going to donate them to a good cause and decide as a family where you’ll go – Goodwill or Salvation Army? Or maybe a thrift shop that’s directly tied to a Children’s Hospitals or another charity they like. Encourage them to part with more items by offering to purchase them one item at the shop for every ten items they donate to it.

Roller or Ice Skating

Roller skating in the winter can be a break from the cold – alternatively, ice skating in the summer can be relief from the heat. Dial-up local arenas and ask for their public skating schedule. Admission and skate rentals are reasonable and won’t break the bank. Roller skating tends to be a bit more expensive but you also get a better sound system, themes, and a light show!

Visit a Rural Market

Load everyone in the car and set your destination to a combination flea/farmer’s market. Be sure to break up the road trip by making the journey part of the destination – make regular stops at roadside shops, attractions, a small town and of course a CHIP TRUCK! Once there your kids will find lots of interesting and inexpensive items that will capture their attention. The best part is that you’ll also be able to stock up on some produce and get a bit of grocery shopping out of the way!

Make Paper Airplanes

All you need for this activity is a tiny stack of paper and a little patience. Challenge your aviators to create a fleet that will compete for distance and acrobatics. Check out Fold ‘N Fly – it’s the perfect wingman for this. The website features over 35 different paper airplane designs, data on their aerial abilities and crystal clear instructions on how to make them.

GPS Treasure Hunt (Geocaching)

Treasure hunting… there has to be an app for that? Yup, and there’s an entire online hobby based around it! Download the app, register and you can instantly use it to navigate to a geocache location. Don’t forget to bring a pen – once you find it you’ll sign and date your visit and then log your experience online.  If your kids really dig this they can level-up and create their own geocache to hide for others to hunt down.

Ice Cream Challenge

Let your kids choose the ice cream flavors, cone and let them go nuts with toppings. Chop up their favorite chocolate bar, use sprinkles, whip cream, chocolate chips, syrups, jams, etc. Use the selection at your favorite ice cream shop as inspiration. Once everyone is done, share ’em and then vote for the most artistic and most delicious. I know what you’re thinking…the dreaded sugar high – but that’s been debunked by science.
